Computer&VideoGames have tossed up a preview of Final Fantasy XI Online, ripped from the pages of PC Zone, for the European version of Final Fantasy XI that is due to launch in September for Europe. Here's a cut:

What the boss battles did show was quite how much 'story' is important to the FFXI Online experience. Each encounter is bookended by animation sequences, setting the scene and revealing a bit more of Vana'diel's history to boot. These animations also occur during most of the game's quests, big or small, designed to provide a context for the events beyond mere game devices. Hopefully, this means you should feel more involved in your world as a result.
